made his way into the Capitol unnoticed,
went into the little room leading to the
stairway Of the dome, completely un-

rotunda, and, stood In o nude condition

under the dome. One can imagine the

there has been little disturbance In the
galleries from these people. Usually
there Is some one who gets up and co.
jects to a speech being made or to some
person on the floor. The doorkeepers
have been very particular this Congress,
and only one attempt was made, and that
was in the Senate. A man stood up, but
he was taken by the nape of the neck
and ''fired out" before he had gotten out
four or five words of an objection to
bill.
1t is on the streets of the national
capital where the greatest oddities are
seen. There is one man who always at

and is Jet black. He wears roundabout
coat or pea-jacket, and his shoulders are
padded so as to make him ridiculously
square-shouldered. The sleeves of this
jacket are so long that his hands are
completely hidden, and great deal Of
cum shows beyond them. His pants are
generally very tight, and he wears little
peculiar round hat on his head and al
ways on one side. He is remarkable

said that If he is excited, or the least irri.

ability, and one of his peculiarities is
that he has q number of rooms in diff

private gymnasiums. He has money and
can afford these luxuries. In the morn

PARROT AND KITTEN.

The Bird Rescues the Feline Youngster
from Drowning.
John Gaffney, for ten years collector Of
revenue for Hudson City, owns parrot
and kitten, neither of which to-day can
be bought for money. The other morn
ing the kitten emerged from the kitchen
of Mr.. Gaffney's place of business, at the
corner of Montgomery street and West
Side avenue, and at once started game
of 'tag" with the parrot, which was ON
the top of his cage. The parrot promptly
responded, and for few minutes fur and
feathers flew about in lively way. A
heavy left-hander from the kitten, how
ever, was suddenly missed, as was the
counter from the parrot, and the pair
dropped into tub filed with water.
Animal and bird disappeared beneath the
surface and as promptly showed up. But
the kitten appeared to have lost all con-
troll of itself, whereas the parrot kept Ito
self-possession. Catching the tub with
one of its powerful claws, the parrot
reached over and secured the kitten by
the nape of the neck with its beak and
dropped 1t to the floor. Then, reaching
down as far as possible, the parrot
secured hold ON the outside Of the tub
and gradually lowered himself. The
rescue was seen by number Of friends
visiting the house, but when one GENTLE
man offered to pay Mr. Gaffney q reason
able price for bird and kitten the owner
declined to sell at any price.-NeD York

Some Picturesque Details About New
American Industry.
It is pleasing to note that American indus
tries are continually growing and additional
facilities for money-making are constantly
being discovered, i
One Of the latest methods of obtaining the
cartwheel dollar Is to 20 into the comet
hunting industry.
Comets are worth money now. Formerly
they had no monetary value, and were used
chiefly to frighten people, who regarded
them as signs Of war or Of the approach of
new poem from the Poet Laureate, or of
some other disaster. ..., .a
It remained for an enterprising American
to make them an article of commerce and
now these celestial nomads command good
price.
A gentleman by the name of Warner is in
the market buying all the comets that can
be secured. As q consequence comet-catch-
ing has become remunerative sport, and
one man has bagged no less than 81 900
worth of them in year or two, without in
terfering with his ordinary vocation.
That is enough money to buy his wife a
spring bonnet.
Comets are hunted after sunset only, as
during the day they manage to keep them
selves hidden.
As they are accustomed to roam at con-
siderable distance from the hunter, long
range breech-loading telescopes is necessary to
the sport. But, once sighted, the capture Of
the gace is easy. AL that it is necessary to
do is to draw bead on the animal, stake out
claim in the surrounding space and tele-
graph to Mr.. Warnerthat you have captured
comet, and are ready to deliver the goods.
Comets seldom escape after this. After
being shot, even though not fatally wounded,
they considerably loaf in the vicinity until
Mr.. Warner has had an opportunity to ex-
anime his purchase and brand It with his
monogram. ! am not certain what he feeds
his comets with, but think the food is
called posse. At all events, once heard a
man speak about the posse comet ate US. So
Isuppose he was one Of Mr.. Warmers comet
feeders. y
do not know what Mr.. Warmers little
scheme Is in buying up the entire cometary
production. -
Perhaps he wants to corner the market.
Perhaps he wants to form a company,
water the stock, boom prices and then unload
on an unsuspecting public. Such things
have been done with other forms of property.
labelit ''bonedturkey. .'spring chicken, etc.
Perhaps he intends to melt them down and
use the fat as an adulterant of lard when cot.
ton-seed oil gets scarce.
Whatever may be his object, he takes all
the comets he can get. His only stipulation
is that they must be fresh. Like eggs, comets

is right that these men should be en-
ployed here, because they have fought
for their country, and deserve to be taken
care Of; but the other people who drift
here and become notorious, because OF
their peculisrities, It would not hurt
Washington in the least to be rid of. OF
course the White House gets its share OF
the cranks and freaks. There is rarely
day that the doorkeepers do not have
some callers Of this character, who either
want to take possession Of the White
House or interview the President to
gain his aid and help. The major.
ity Of the doorkeepers Of the
White House have been there for mum.
ber Of years and are accustomed to these
men, and know exactly how to treat
them. They are very diplomatic in their
actions toward them, as the least thing
done to irritate or harass them might re-
suit seriously to both themselves and to
the property Of the government. The
peculiar strangers are generally handled
with care and most politely. Sometimes
they are shown into the house, watched
and enticed out again and away. Other
times they are taken into one Of the side
rooms and the police called, given q free
ride In the patrol, and taken to the sta
tion-house.. s
The President evidently has some
dread Of cranks. Henever goes through

Sierra Nevada mountains, for fortnight's
sailing and fishing. My old California friend,
Ned Meredith, Joined me and we went into
camp.
One evening we had almost finished our
cigars and our meditations when the crack
ling of dry stick close behind us caused us
to start up and face about Approaching
was tall, gaunt, middle-aged man. He wore
heavy cowhide boots. into which were
thrust about half the length Of pair of
heavy corduroy" pantaloons, and in place
Of coat and vest appeared no fewer than three
woolen shirts, the two outer ones very coarse
and strong and worn open at the breast. His
beard was long and yellow and shock of
yellowish hair thatched his head, almost
rendering superfuous the tattered slouch
hat by which 1t was surmounted. On his
right shoulder he carried long, old-fashioned
Kentucky rife, and an I" "Arkansaw toothpick"
hung from his greasy leathern waist-belt.
Striding up to where we were standing our
visitor said "Hello, fellers!" and dropping
to the ground, even as he 30 greeted US, laid
his rifle by his side and coiling his legs be-
meath him q Ia Turk, looked out at us from
beneath the broad brlm of his hat for mo-
ment, then abruptly said: II am man of

hoot of the owl in the cliffs. and the cry of
the coyote in the canyons are sounds more
familiar to my ears than is the voice of man."
"Been long in the mountains ?' asked
Ned.
II am Elam Storm and have been in the
mountains long time. Yes, a long time
so long that they seem to have worn down a
good deal since first began travelling over

for Non-payment Of Dues.
A remarkable strike is going on in the
island of Scio. The population in some Of
the parishes belonging to the orthodox
Greek Church have been backward in the
due payment Of tithes or church rates, or
some other ecclesiastical due. The prissts
have appealed to the Bishop Of Scio, who
has attempted to help his clergy by putting
these recalcitrant parishes under the inter-
dict. As a consequence Of this extreme.
measure, with which Western Europe was.
familiar in the middle ages, the clergy arc
obliged to abstain from the regular exercise
Of their ministry. They may neither hap
tie, marry, celebrate mass, nor even bury
the dead. The lsity have taken the Last
duty upon themselves. and there have been
several funerals without any ecclesiastical
ceremony. They have appealed to the secu--
lar governor Of the island, however, request.
ing him to compel the priests on strike TO NJ
turn to their duty. The governor has ap-.
piled TO the Porte tor direction in this delis,
cate question, 20 that the final settlement a.
the quarrel between the Christian pastors.
and their hocks is now resting in the hsnds
of the Porte. ~
